Open the housing to see if the cord is broken, before playing with the electrics. We had a problem with our antenna in our 1999 9-3. Turned out that the plastic toothed cord that drives the antenna up and down had broken. This is apparently very common and we found a couple of sites that gave good instructions on how to put in a new one (which cost about EUR 30). Try http://www.thesaabsite.com/93/93faqs.htm#How do I replace my broken Antenna Mast? to see how to feed in the new cord and antenna. The writer assumes a broken antenna rather than a broken cord, but the instruction on how to feed the new cord is still relevant. If the cord is broken, the broken section must be removed from the housing and the antenna assembly (minus antenna shaft and cord) must be reinstalled and connected (including grounding) before the new antenna and cord are fed in. Tell us how it goes. /Robert
